If you know what LEL is you’ll share my sadness for those competing.
What a bastard the weather can be.

    Yeah, that's absolutely shit luck. Imagine working up to it for four years, and having it cancelled halfway. What are they going to do about people using it as a qualifying event for PBP? 

    Absolutely the right decision though - going over the pennines with 80mph gusts and into the Scottish lowlands with even stronger gusts woukd be incredibly dangerous.

    A woman from my Club was on it this year. Thankfully back and as far as I know no participants injured.
    The life of extreme audax I suppose.

    Lightweights & Snowflakes the lot of them. Fancy a bit of wind & rain putting them off a cycle ride. 

    Pah.

    A mate of mine has just abandoned Mother North in Norway.  1000km and 16,000 metres of elevation!  The weather got so bad he nearly froze to death coming back down a mountain to a stop-point.

    He still had to do 60 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing after he DNF'd to get to a train station!

    It was? 

    Should have made it a bit more obvious. Maybe by making it funny, or something.
